I seem to have a problem with moderating myself when it comes to playtime on Video Games, How do you keep yourself from just endlessly playing games?
My wife keeps me in check. Not in that she’s telling me when I can play, but that, I’m thinking about her before and while I play, and whether or not I’m being considerate.
@Rhynoplaz It's one of the reasons I hope to not spend 10+ hours a day on games as I do enjoy my time with my partner but it has turned into you watch things on the TV well I play some games that I've already been playing all day.
Nothing wrong with that, but I know what you mean. It’s easy to get stuck in a habit and then you haven’t seen each other in three years.
Don’t forget to snuggle up and watch the things on TV with her once in a while. Keep those connections fresh.
I tend to hyperfixate. So I got into habit of getting up every 3 hours, going outside, walk around block. I will say to self, get up, right now, out of this chair, outside, now. Been doing this so long now, it’s become habit, part of daily routine. Has helped a lot.
@31415926535 That's a good way, I saw somewhere sometimes just starting the smallest part of another task especially things like washing up and stuff can set you to do the whole thing in one go sometimes and if not if you come back to it in an hour or so, your mind might just go "Oh, Theres less, let's slowly finish it through the day" so you keep on coming back to the task. Thank you, I'll see how I can do this in my life.

By living on student loan and playing them endlessly until I got bored of the lack of things I haven’t seen before 😂. Now Im bored of them I managed to land a good paying job but it mostly goes towards paying the student loan 😅
